I could not agree more. Awsome letter. Think they read it?
wow, not the right way to get your foot in the door. I understand that politics is a heated subject, but generalizing and claiming that all politicians are "fundamentally dishonest" and that the country continuously "simultaneously slaughters the unborn" is no way to bring up your issues. the letter is so full of venom, that I would never take anyone who talks like that seriously; regardless of my views.
He's from Connecticut, Bill. They may not have a Tomes or Nugent equivalent up there, just Warren/Schumer/Cuomo clones. So, while from an Indiana POV, his brush may have been overly broad...in Connecticut it may have been close enough.
...
One thing I want to add here, though: It is both false and insulting to classify ALL politicians in this way. While I understand that the primary ones we see (the Feinsteins, the Schumers, McCarthys, the Obamas, etc.) are correctly grouped, we cannot in any good conscience include the Pauls, the Nugents, the Tomes', or any other of those who have steadfastly championed our rights over the years if we want to see good people continue to step forward into the fray. Why would anyone want to take on a fight like this, only to be painted with that enormously broad brush?
Those who do lie, cheat, steal, and line their own pockets and nests are completely worthy of our ire and disgust, not to mention the age-old tar-and-feathering prior to being run out of town on a rail, but those who step up and do the job they were hired to do should be lauded and highly praised. We want good people in office; none of us consider (or at least not many or for long) that with that kind of public opinion, it is only those few of extreme fortitude or those who could not care less about public opinion or the name they make for themselves who will take on that title... and of those latter two groups, which do you suppose will take the grave responsibilities that accompany the title?
...
Blessings,
Bill

What a great letter!
I think the sleeping giant is slowly waking up.
